Description: Charming Roseanne is the cheerleader star. She lives in a luxurious home in a cozy neighborhood, and her friend Jimmy – the best school athlete. It seems that her life is perfect? No. No one knows what awaites her at home. Rosanna’s ridiculous alcoholic stepfather (Michael Ironside who participated in Cross Country and Probable Cause), and her far from ideal mother, who hates her miserable husband. All this is tolerable until Rosanna’s mother runs with a black bartender. When drunk stepfather rapes her, she decides to end this hell forever. For this Rosanna need help of Jimmy, cause the killing is a serious matter and should not be misfiring.
Review: First of all, here attracts triller project subject to the adequate rating genre R. While cruelty and outcrops in the frame have been reported, but the naughty sexual motives (even if only to start, not the action itself, and unfortunately left over) and murder (though, again, not particularly impressive) is. So although in terms of anything new thriller viewer will not see here, but maybe in the next, but still so beautiful and fierce heroine with a smart plan of revenge is really worth to see (at least on the exterior of the school princess in a commendable performance of Monica’s kin). And history itself can not be called boring.
Against the background of pretty good, though not particularly demanding terrible events, the second part of the story, namely the more dramatic events with drunkard stepfather prostitute mother and pursuing the main character (who would not pursue such a beauty) suspicious guy with a camera look much more refreshing, especially since Michael Ironside beautifully blended into the role of the very step-father, and Ellen Barkin is not bad mother portrayed the protagonist. Far not the everyday guy played by Vincent Kartayzera also like to mention – he came here perfectly, both in appearance and in the game and especially the feelings of the character you know to whom. Another suitor of the heroine from the ordinary players in the performance of James DeBello was completely standard.
